On if anyone will step up and challenge AJ Styles:
AJ Styles’ 2017 has been nothing short of phenomenal. He capped it off by regaining the WWE Championship in England, putting in a stellar performance against Universal Champion Brock Lesnar and turning back the challenge of previous titleholder Jinder Mahal.
But as the new year approaches, The Phenomenal One is waiting for someone to step up and challenge him. Will a contender emerge on SmackDown LIVE?
On if Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon are on the same page:
Between Shane McMahon & Daniel Bryan’s dispute while refereeing at WWE Clash of Champions and the spat that led to Shane leaving SmackDown LIVE last Tuesday, there’s plenty of reason for the WWE Universe to believe that Team Blue’s General Manager and Commissioner are at odds.
With Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn’s “Yep!” Movement gaining steam by the week, can the two figureheads of Team Blue present a united front and keep the unruly Superstars in check?
